Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Beef round steak
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, sliced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cups Beef broth
• 1 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the beef round steak and cut it into 4-6 evenly-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in the skillet. Working in batches if necessary, brown the steak pieces for 2-3 minutes per side, then remove them and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes (including their liquid), beef broth, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Return the browned steak pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the steak cook slowly for 75-90 minutes, or until the meat is tender and easily cuts with a fork. Stir occasionally and check that the sauce doesn’t thicken too much—add a splash of beef broth or water if needed.

Step 9

Once the steak is completely tender, remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy, ensuring it is evenly incorporated. Do not let the sour cream boil to prevent curdling.

Step 11

Serve the Sour Cream Swiss Steak over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
